Vartous Kinds or Baths.

There is a number Of varieties of bath
at each temperature. Thus, if the entire
body is submerged, it has a full bath; If
only half, it is a half bath; If the feet
only are immersed, It Is a foot bath,
etc. Sponging the entire surface is an
easy and conve lent means OF securing
most of tho adv ntages of the full bath,
while the trouble of the latter (expense
also) is avoided. If cold water IS used,
the skin if stimulated, and the nervous
system receives all the tonic effects to be
had from bathing. The shower bath is
still more stimulating to the
nerves and skin. If it is cold,
there may be considerable risk Of doing
injury. This is true of all forms OF
"cold" baths. No one with degenerated
heart OF arteries should incur the dangers
of the cold full" or SHOWER bath.
The first effect of the application of cold
to the skin is to cause sudden contrac-
ton of, all the small blood vessels, thus
driving the blood in upon the central
organs. An additional strain is thus
placed upon the vessels of the lungs,
brain-in fact, Of the whole interior de-
partment. Ii their walls have been

The Cause Of Cyclones,

The conditions which lead to the
formation of cyclone are as follows:
In those heated portions of land and sea
where the circumstances permit the air
to remain for long time undistlrbed,
it becomes very warm and charged with
moisture; the hotter it becomes the more
moisture it contains, and the less it per-
mits the heat Indicating from the surface
to pass through its texture; at the same
time the upper air, deprived of its usual
share of radiant heat, becomes abnor-
mally cold; finally, as in the dust-whirls
and tornadoes, the lower air breaks
through the upper and rushes toward
the sky. Although at its beginning a
cyclone storm is probably of no greater
size and of much less ascending force
than tornado, there are several reasons
which make its history different from
that of the smaller whirls. In the first
place, the field of heated air which causes
the cyclone is far more extensive than
that which produces the tornado, though
at the same time the difference of tenn
pature between the upper and lower air
may be less. The greater bulk Of the
lower stratum of hot and moist air per-
mits the cyclone to grow larger, but the
less ascensonal force of the lower air
makes it rather less violent in its move
ments.
AS soon as the ascending currcn,
brings portion of the heated air from
the surface into the higher level it OK.
pands, and the force originally in the
form of heat, which kept it in the state
of vapor serves to increase the ascending
column just as much as would the direct
application of heat sufficient vaporizt
the water. Thus we have two sources o.
force to impel the air in the cyclone up
ward. Both these forces appear in thu
tornado, but there the original heat Of
the lower air is the principal cause of th'
motion.

my life. bound the woman hand and
foot, and then kept vigilant watch until
daybreak. She recovered consciousness
long enough before this, but the only aid
| extended was to loosen her hands and
place a dish of water beside her. She
did not address me, and l had no word
for her.
When day broke there was another sur
prise for me. A Kickapoo Indian lay
dead under the wagon, shot though the
heart. 1t was great mystery to me, but
the woman was ready to clear it up. l
united her, washing the blood off her
face and head, and then she gave the
whole plot away. Patton had been made
a prisoner by gang of outlaws in order
that might be robbed. These men
knew of the tin box in the wagon. The
woman had been sent into camp with the
story she told, knowing that she would
get into the wagon. The two men came
to distract my attention, and the Kicka-
poo crept up to receive the box. The
woman couldn't find it, and mistook the
the woman concluded that / had the
money on me, and while l mapped she
crept up to shoot me and secure it. She
told the particulars as coolly as 1 relate
them to you, and when she had finished
she asked what l was going to do about
it. Patton had by that time returned,
having raised such row that his captors
feared to detain him longer, and he
answered the question by picking up a
rope and starting for the nearest tree.
This broke the woman down, and she
begged and pleaded so abiectly that we
left her free to go where she would,
when we drove on. To have taken her to
Ockmulgee, Kickspoo, or any other town
as prisoner would have been to cause us
great delay and annoyance, and it was
some consolation to know that the blow /
gave her caused wound from which she
would not recover for many days. She
was penitent enough as we drove away,
but six weeks later was killed with her
husband while stealing stock from the
Creek Indians. -Ne1 York Suu.

Cities Of The United States.

At the time of the census of 1880
there were ten cities in the United States
with more than 200, 900 inhabitants each.
They were New York, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, CHI ago, Boston, st. Louis,
Baltimore, Cincinnati, San Francisco and
New Orleans. Their population aggre-
gated 4, GA, S97. In 1887 the number
of cities with more than 200, 900 had in
creased to fourteen, the four additional
being Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg and
Washington. The total population of
these fourteen cities was estimated at
6,79S, 900. 1t is estimated that there
are in addition to the cities above
enumerated thirteen with populations
exceeding 100000 each, as follows
Albany, Allegheny, Detroit, Indianapo-
lis, Jersey City, Kansas City, Louisville,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Newark, Provi-
dence, Rochester and St. Paul. These
thirteen have an estimated population OF
$780, 900. There are also thirteen cities
with over 60, 900 each, whose combined
population is 9O2, 600 Altogether these
forty cities have $3.50, 900 inhabitants,
or nearly one-sixth of the population OF
the United tates.-LSan francisco

Compare Notes.

In country community where farmers
have lived as neighbors for twenty years
or more, we were surprised at the diff
ferent practices in vogue. Take the
single operations of poisoning potato
beetles. 1t was found that Paris green
was used in strength varying from one
pound to ten of plaster to one pound to
barrel Each farmer had his own
mixture and few knew, except by
hearsay, what their neighbors used.
Many vines had been killed by too liberal
doses of poison, and the beetles had
ruined several crops that were too lightly
covered. Who doubts that an hours
discussion of this subject, where all
could have given their experience
would have saved money to most of
these farmersl There's small reason to
doubt that there are similar differences
in feeding cattle, cultivating crops, and
other farm operations. Some are protita-
BILE; others are not. Would not a

The Lining Thief.

The lining thief is, believe, positive
ly the latest exploiter in the realm of
crime. This is the man who trades hats
with you in the barber shop, in the
sleeper car, and outside the hotel dining
room. The mere act of exchange is a
trick old enough in itself, but with the
oldest adroitness of the lining thief it
becomes very tantalizing sort of mean
ness. The lining thief carries about him
one or more Innings which he has pulled
out of old and rusty hats, and by a
clever juggle slips them, as occasion
offers, into the property of others, who
have no means of identity so sure as the
look of the inside In this way, though
you may seem to think you know your
hat by its general appearance or color,
you are nonplused by the changed char,
acter of the lining. hear of the recent
detection of this sort of thievery on 8
sleeping car by a passenger who saw the
legerdemain connected with it through
a clumsy performance. -[Syracuse On

FROM VELVET LIDS.

From velvet lids Love wings the dart
That deepest thrills the human heart.
The purest joy, the fiereest woe
That mortals here may ever know
From this sweet wound unfailing start.
When velvet lids-Loves gatsways-part,
The tender god dons all his art,
And joy and woe commingled flow
From velvet lids.
From velvet lids whose fires impart
Ecstatic joy and keeneSt smart,
All men are warned, yet all men go
Where they may feel the kindling glow
OF charms that flash and CLEAN and dart
From velvet lids.

COssack Boy Soldiers.

At recent Russian review splendid
idea was given of what the hardy Cos
sack race really is by two whole regi-
ments, or twelve sotnias, of boys, about
fourteen hundred strong, from nine years
old up to fourteen, drawn for the &C.
casion from all the stanitsas, or settle
ments, of the Cossack territory. Mounted
on lean, shaggy native horses and WELD
ing huge swords, bigger than themselves,
and lances eight feet long, they formed
the most wonderful infant cavalry ever
seen. These boys can already ride at q
headlong pace, cling on to their stirrups
like monkeys, and pick up handkerchief
from the ground as they career alongs
His imperial Majesty, who arrived at the
saluting point at ten o'clock amidst ire.
mendous cheering, was greatly interested
and amused by these Cossack youngsters
as they rode by in lines of sotnias two
deep, headed by their choirs, singing
Cossack songs to the beat of tamborines.
Their swords and lances were found
rather too unwieldy for such children, sc
they were taken away just before tn,
ride past.--Aroonaut.
